New city hall

The picture augment open in a new window: Neues Rathaus in Lahr
New city hall

Built in 1807 for the chicory producer Jacob Ferdinand Lenz. Acquired in 1809/10 after a fire by the snuff producer Carl Ludwig Lotzbeck and rebuilt by (the architect, Friedrich) Weinbrenner’s student Hans Voss according to Weinbrenner’s plans. Well worth seeing as an art monument (classical façade) and as a social-historical memorial: Both of the preliminary wings (today only a part of the south wing is still preserved) were factory buildings, the entirety, therefore, an early industrial residential and factory ensemble. After the snuff factory was closed in 1926, the building became the City Hall of the City of Lahr.
